Baba Jaimal Singh UN GRANDE SANTO BABA JAIMAL SINGH La sua Vita e i suoi Insegnamenti KIRPAL SINGH Per informazioni: Unity of Man Italy [email protected] www.unityofman.it Pubblicato e Stampato da: Unity of Man, Verein zur Verbesserung der menschlichen Steinklüftstrasse 34 A-5340 St. Gilgen, Austria www.unity-of-man.org Prima edizione 2015 UN GRANDE SANTO BABA JAIMAL SINGH La sua Vita e i suoi Insegnamenti KIRPAL SINGH Questa musica si riversa da un piano trascendente interiore ed è catturata da un soldato Santo. Canto 9, Sar Bachan Sant Kirpal Singh Ji (1894-1974) Dedicato a Dio Onnipotente che ha operato attraverso tutti i Maestri che sono venuti ed a Baba Sawan Singh Maharaj ai cui piedi di loto l’autore ha assorbito il dolce elisir del Santo Naam – il Verbo. SULL’AUTORE Nella storia umana troviamo solo poche indicazioni di vite che si differenziano dalla maggioranza. L’ideale e la eventualità di un Dio-uomo (colui che è divenuto uno con Dio ed è ‘perfetto come il Padre Suo nei cieli’) si trova in tutte le tradizioni religiose; e molte religioni derivano dalla vita e dall’insegnamento di uno o più di queste eccezionali personalità, il cui impegno in vita consiste nel dimostrarci che anche noi abbiamo la capacità di diventare come loro. Ma mai fu intenzione di quei grandi insegnanti di creare un religione. Essi ebbero una vivida conoscenza della vera natura dell’uomo, il cui scopo è ritornare alla sua sorgente – Dio -, e dal loro insegnamento ogni individuo, anche il più emarginato, può riguadagnare i sui propri valori e dignità. Sant Kirpal Singh non ha portato una nuova fede. Egli ha ravvivato questa originale conoscenza che deve essere trovata nel nucleo di tutte le religioni, e la Sua Vita era l’incarnazione del Suo insegnamento. Sant Kirpal Singh nacque il 6 Febbraio 1894 in Sayyad Kasran in una parte del Punjab, che adesso appartiene al Pakistan. Dopo una carriera da servitore civile nel governo indiano, si trasferì a Delhi nel 1948, in accordo alle istruzioni del Suo Maestro Baba Sawan Singh. Presto ebbe discepoli in tutto il mondo. I suoi libri sono stati tradotti in diverse lingue. Durante tre tour mondiali nel 1955, 1963, e 1972 Egli visitò le maggiori città del mondo occidentale, dove incontrò i leader religiosi, politici e personalità della società. Ovunque egli ha condiviso l’importanza della conoscenza di sé e della conoscenza di Dio ed ha sottolineato il bisogno di servizio altruistico. I Suoi sforzi di creare comprensione tra uomo e uomo, per la pace nel mondo e per la tolleranza tra le religioni, hanno ricevuto gli onori da molti. Durante quattordici anni Egli fu ripetutamente eletto presidente dell’ Alleanza Mondiale delle Religioni e grazie alla sua visione universale, ha potuto creare mutua comprensione tra diverse fedi. I suoi sforzi hanno raggiunto l’apice, quando nel 1974 Sant Kirpal Singh promosse la prima Conferenza Mondiale di Unity of Man, che prese posto in Delhi dal 3 al 6 Febbraio 1974. Leader religiosi, politici e sociali da tutta l’India e delegati da circa 30 nazioni parteciparono alla conferenza. Questa conferenza mondiale fu l’inizio di Unity of Man. Su invito del governo a tenere un discorso al Parlamento Indiano, Sant Kirpal Singh parlò ai membri del Lokh Sabha nel primo agosto 1974. Prima della Sua dipartita dal piano fisico il 21 Agosto 1974, Sant Kirpal Singh commissionò al Suo discepolo Dr. Harbhajan Singh il proseguimento del Suo lavoro: UNITY OF MAN. Insieme a sua moglie, Surinder Kaur, Dr. Harbhajan Singh coordina il progetto Kirpal Sagar. Era l’ultimo desiderio di Sant Kirpal Singh consegnare il Suo lavoro nelle mani di persone consapevoli per porre fine a tutti gli ‘ismi’ e sette. Come tutti i competenti Maestri del passato Egli ha insegnato che esiste solo un ‘doer’, un solo artefice – quel Potere che sostiene tutto, ossia il Potere di Dio, il Potere di Cristo o Potere del Maestro. Coloro che vedono questo Potere al lavoro non creano mai nessuno gruppo o formazione ma portano la profonda comprensione che tutti noi siamo Uno, e rendono l’uomo capace di innalzarsi al di sopra delle anguste catene che lui stesso ha creato. Sant Kirpal Singh Ji (1894-1974) INTRODUZIONE Sant Kirpal Singh, l’autore di questo libro, non ha bisogno di introduzione. Nell’ultima decade e oltre egli ha risieduto al Sawan Ashram, in Delhi, e per tutta la lunghezza e larghezza del paese e all’estero, ha portato alta la torcia della spiritualità per l’elevazione dell’umanità. La chiamata arriva a molti; ma pochi optano di essere scelti. Tutti noi siamo così assorbiti nel soddisfare le domande della esistenza mondana sul piano fisico e mentale che abbiamo poco tempo e pensiero lasciati per le elevate questioni dello spirito. Parlare della realizzazione del Sé e di quella di Dio più spesso suona come pura vuota verbosità senza contenuto e sostanza razionale. Il mondo è troppo appiccicato a noi. Un libro come questo può essere veramente d’aiuto nel risvegliare in noi il desiderio per percorrere il cammino che porta alla illuminazione e alla liberazione dal ciclo della nascita e della morte. Non è meramente la storia di un grande uomo, ma di un Dio-uomo la cui impeccabile purezza, profonda umiltà e inarrestabile devozione al Sentiero di Dio sotto la guida di un grande Maestro che lo ha elevato a inviolate vette spirituali, possono servire come un esempio ispirante per innumerevoli anime affannate e afflitte dalla fatica della vita, e desiderose di essere liberate dalla schiavitù di mente e corpo. Un vero grande uomo non ha bisogno di altri tributi oltre a quelli attribuiti dalla sua vita e lavoro. Uno sforzo è stato fatto per raccogliere in questo volume i principali eventi della storia di vita di Baba Ji e un riassunto dei suoi insegnamenti come essi sono stati registrati nelle sue lettere in versioni, pubblicate e non, lasciate dai suoi discepoli e ammiratori, primi tra tutti Maharaji Sawan Singh, il suo erede spirituale, e Baba Surain Singh, Gyani Partap Singh etc. E’ una storia contraddistinta da una incredibile intensità e da uno spasmodico desiderio spirituale nel suo primo svolgersi, e una altrettanto sorprendente dedizione e unidirezionale attenzione verso il prossimo, ed una non meno rimarcabile umiltà e disinteresse uniti alla suprema esaltazione spirituale nella sua ultima e conclusiva fase. L’autore caratterizza il Sant Mat, praticato e predicato da Baba Jaimal Singh Ji come una Scienza, e a ragion veduta, poiché egli stesso è un contraddistinto esponente di questa, ed è stato iniziato alla sua mistica ai piedi di un grande Santo; e la cui maestria è vastamente riconosciuta e acclamata, come dimostrato dalla sua elezione a Presidente della Alleanza Mondiale delle Religioni sull’onda di una universale ovazione e plauso nel quale i saggi, scolari e sapienti di diverse parti del mondo si sono devotamente uniti. Il libro è un tentativo di presentare, per la prima volta in inglese, la biografia di uno dei più rappresentativi Santi dei nostri tempi, che merita di essere meglio conosciuto di quanto lo sia. La storia è di quelle memorabili, ed è di valore permanente negli annali della storia spirituale dell’uomo. Merita di essere letto da ogni ricercatore di Dio. Ho fiducia che coloro che leggeranno questo libro non falliranno nell’essere ispirati ed elevati, e inizieranno a vedere che la spiritualità non è quello che generalmente è supposta essere ma una Scienza i cui Maestri sono apparsi in tutti i tempi e luoghi, e che può essere imparata ai piedi di un adepto ovunque egli possa essere trovato, indipendentemente da sette e gaddis (luoghi sacri); essendo la finale pietra di paragone della sua competenza, la sua abilità di dare una esperienza interiore al suo discepolo qui e ora, e non in qualche vita futura.

Dio riporta l’uomo a Sé attraverso il Suo scelto eletto (Il Dio-uomo) a cui il segreto del Sentiero (la Via di Dio) è rivelata direttamente o resa manifesta da qualche Sant Satguru per il bene della gente. I Maestri, i Messia, gli insegnanti e i profeti di tutto il mondo, cadono in due categorie con una separata missione assegnata ad ognuno. Ci sono, da una parte, quelli il cui unico scopo è di fare andare il mondo armoniosamente, e dall’altra parte ci sono quelli a cui è stato commissionato di ricondurre indietro le anime che sono mature per il ritorno a casa, e desiderano un pronto ritorno alla Sorgente Spirituale dalla quale sono partite molto tempo fa scendendo in basso nei piani materiali. Nella prima categoria cadono tutti i riformatori, e nella seconda tali Santi e Sadhus che sono competenti nel rivelare la conoscenza di Dio e nel rendere manifesto il potere di Dio nell’uomo.

    SACH KHAND THE JOURNAL OF RADHASOAMI STUDIES | Issue Four | MSAC Philosophy Group | Mt. San Antonio College | Walnut, California 91789 | USA | The Genealogical Connection: Kirpal Singh & Paul Twitchell That religions often evolve out of other past religions is a well-known phenomenon: witness Christianity's emergence from Judaism. What is not so well known, however, is how certain religions try to genealogically dissociate themselves from their historical roots. Eckankar is a classic case in point. Founded in 1965 by Paul Twitchell, one-time disciple of Swami Premananda, Kirpal Singh, and L. Ron Hubbard, Eckankar owes much of its theology to Radhasoami. Indeed, as Lane, Melton, and others have pointed out, most of Paul Twitchell's writings are derived from two Radhasoami publications, With a Great Master in India and The Path of the Masters (both authored by Julian P. Johnson in the 1930s). Certainly, it is not surprising that religious doctrines can at times appear to be similar, but what is surprising is when a religion which has borrowed much of its history, doctrine, and terminology from another tries to consciously deny its putative association. The story of Paul Twitchell's association with Kirpal Singh, and, in turn, the influence of Radhasoami on Eckankar, is well documented. In 1955 Paul Twitchell received initiation from Kirpal Singh in Washington, D.C. Twitchell, who, according to his first wife Camille Ballowe Taylor, was a "seeker of religion," met Kirpal Singh after a five year stay at Swami Premananda's Church of Absolute Monism. Twitchell kept up a ten year correspondence with Kirpal Singh in India, addressing his numerous letters to his guru as "My Dear Master," and so on.

  • The Guru in America
    GAKKOYTHISDKDKKDKKD The Skeptic’s Journal of Eckankar History Episode Two The FATE Debate 1982 to 1986 A Natural Way In the June 1982 issue of FATE, an article entitled "World's Oldest Astrological Record" by David Christopher Lane contains some misinformation about the teachings of ECKANKAR. [The author wrote: "It is of interest... that the Radhasoami movement has been the basis for several popular religious groups in America including... Eckankar..."] I would like to clarify the origin of ECKANKAR and the ECK Masters. ECKANKAR, as a way of life, is a natural way back to god. It embraces the purest of teachings dating back to the beginning of time. Traces of this spiritual teaching can be found as far back as the Nacaal records. ECKANKAR, ECK, and EK appear in the temple carvings of Greece, the Sanskrit scriptures of India and the Pali texts of Tibet and China. The ECK Masters of the Vairagi Order, also traceable throughout history, have always been present on this planet to serve as way-showers for those wishing to obtain Self-Realization. Sri Paul Twitchell was the 971st Living ECK Master and brought these ancient teachings to light in the modern world through his numerous manuscripts on ECKANKAR. Nowhere in the ECK teachings is there denial of the validity of other paths or teachings. ECKANKAR is available for those who freely choose to follow its principles. It offers spiritual techniques for proving to oneself that there is survival after death and that one may experience the heavenly worlds during this lifetime. It provides a method for the individual to demonstrate by his own volition total awareness, the awareness of God.

    The Five Dacoits The Five Perversions of Mind From The Path of the Masters by Julian Johnson Sant Kirpal Singh Ji, Hazur Baba Sawan Singh Ji, and others We are constantly beset by five foes - passion, anger, greed, worldly attachments, and vanity. All these must be mastered, brought under control. You can never do that entirely until you have the aid of the Guru and are in harmonic relations with the Sound Current. But you can begin now, and every effort will be a step on the way. (Baba Sawan Singh, Spiritual Gems, 339) Swami Ji has said that we should not hesitate to go all out to still the mind. We do not fully grasp that the mind takes everyone to his doom. It is like a thousand-faced snake, which is constantly with each being; it has a thousand different ways of destroying the person. The rich with riches, the poor with poverty, the orator with his fine speeches – it takes the weakness in each and plays upon it to destroy him.

Whatever circumstances we find ourselves in are due to previous karmas, and so long as we try to act in accordance with his will, whatever the results may be – whether pleasant or unpleasant – it helps us in our spiritual progress. To go back to our Father’s house is the main purpose of this life. All other things we do simply to maintain ourselves in this world. But while doing so, we should not forget the Father who has given us all these things. You are very lucky to have been given the way to realize the Master within yourself, so you should always devote as much time to simran and bhajan as possible, as that is the only way by which we can be cleansed so that we may be liberated.

    SACH KHAND THE JOURNAL OF RADHASOAMI STUDIES | Issue Two | MSAC Philosophy Group | Mt. San Antonio College | Walnut, California 91789 | USA | The Guru in America The Radhasoami tradition, as founded by Shiv Dayal Singh in Agra in 1861, has been highly influential in the development of several new religions in North America and elsewhere. However, little work has been done in showing how Radhasoami has been transplanted into American soil and the impact it has had on the spiritual marketplace. Utilizing socio-historical/textual analysis, this study begins by exploring the emergence of Radhasoami as a transnational religion, focusing on the development of Radhasoami in America since the early part of this century. The objective is to illustrate its influence on several guru movements in America, paying close attention to how society, in particular, alters the Bhagat Singh Thind manifestation of religious groups and their respective theology. By charting such lines of influence among religions, we may then begin to get a much keener understanding of how and why religions evolve the way they do. Among the guru movements genealogically and theologically connected to Radhasoami are: Paul Twitchell's Eckankar; John- Roger Hinkins' Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness [MSIA]; and Dr. Bhagat Singh Thind's Sikh Study Groups. In addition, there are numerous smaller groups who have been influenced by Radhasoami which do not have as yet many members. Nonetheless, these "virtual" groups are important not only because they contribute to the plurality of religion in America, but they give us access to study the evolutionary beginnings of a group which may develop into a well known entity or at least serve as a micro-bridge for future movements.

    THE MASTER S P E A K S TO THE FOREIGNERS Seekers from Abroad Edited By :- B. R. KAMAL Faqir Library Charitable Trust Manavta Mandir, Sutheri Road, HOSHIARPUR Punjab H. H. PARAM SANT PARAM DAYAL FAQIR JI MAHARAJ INTRODUCTION Mr. David Lane, Research Assistant to Prof. Juergensmeyer Mark of Berkeley California, U. S. A., Was having a regular correspondence with His Holiness Param Sant Param Dayal Faqir Chand Ji Maharaj for quite some time. On the auspicious occasion of Guru Purnima on 20-7-78, Mr. David Lane personally visited the Manavta Mandir, Hoshiarpur, to sit at the Holy Feet of His Holiness Param Dayal Ji Maharaj and to have a face-to-face talk. After visiting the Manavta Mandir and having sat with His Holiness, Mr. David wrote to Prof. Mark to come and visit the Manavta Mandir and listen to the Great Truth from His Holiness. After a month Prof. Mark also visited the Manavta Mandir as an eager seeker. Luckily I was present on both the occasions and had the privilege of tape- recording the entire conversation of His Holiness with these two learned seekers. These two conversations cover many important aspects of the Sublime-Truth and Reality about the Divinity as realised by His Holiness during his life long research (of 92 years). I have recorded them in the form of this book-let for the benefit of other like minded seekers from India and abroad. In these two conversations, His Holiness has touched a great many aspects of human life with examples from his personal life.

A life- long search for God led him to investigate the claims of many yogis and mystics, culminating in his initiation at the hands of Baba Sawan Singh of Beas, the successor of Baba Jaimal Singh, in 1924. For twenty-four years he sat at the feet of his Master, under whose direction he com- pleted his inner growth, while living the life of a house- holder and rising to a high position in the Indian Gov- ernment. At his Master's death in 1948, he retired to the Himalayas and spent three months in almost continuous samadhi or absorption in God. On returning to the world in obedience to the instructions of his Master, he took up the role of guru, or spiritual guide, as had been commis- sioned by his Master before his death, and in the course of his lifetime initiated more than 100,000 souls into Surat Shabd Yoga, the science of constant communion with God.
